I'm back! Did you miss me?
I can take some time to breathe now, because Scary Deadline #1 for this week has been met, and Huge Load Of Work for Scary Deadline #2 (Friday) can wait a few hours.
I've been doing a ketubah. Well, a Lovers' Covenant, anyway. It's used by couples who can't stomach the traditional ketubah text, and either want a non-halakhic replacement or a comforting addition (the text is by Rachel Adler, do email me if you want a copy). I've been busybusybusy beavering away on it. In addition to the floor getting covered with little bits of cutout paper, I seem to've acquired a patch of No Feeling on the fingertip which was guiding the scalpel, despite padding it with a bit of sock.
So, here're some pictures, which I haven't hitherto had time to upload.
Not quite finished...
Backing paper, applied with lots and lots of archivist's tape (it's like sellotape for grown-ups, it never turns yellow or falls off. Awesome, huh?)...
Complete!
This is one of the pictures from the corners. Each corner is a different picture of something meaningful to the couple. My Freaking Awesome colleague Demetrios did them; line art isn't my thing, and it jolly well is his.
